As much as this hurts, yeet; as an alias throw; is hilarious

Funnily enough, that is a keyword in rust.

(it's a placeholder to remove any bikeshedding)

[-] BeardedGingerWonder@feddit.uk 19 points 1 day ago

Of all the gen z lingo yeet is the best.

You can yoink that word from my cold, dead hands!

[-] mcqtom@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago

Should else be big_yikes? That seems situational to me.

It’s actually a comment on the performance loss incurred from a likely failed branch prediction.

Ugh. Just

No more needless nesting plz

[-] rumba@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 day ago

Honestly, that's about an inch away from Python...

[-] TwilightKiddy@programming.dev 6 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Considering vibe is probalby float, I doubt any exceptions can be thrown there, you can eliminate another useless scope.

Even if it's not float, I'd consider burning alive anyone who overrides an operator like this anyway.

[-] Lemminary@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

Float? Do you mean fax? Get with the program, old man

[-] TwilightKiddy@programming.dev 3 points 1 day ago

If you confused period and fax intentionally, I commend the effort.

[-] 9point6@lemmy.world 90 points 2 days ago

And a decade or so ago it was LOLCODE that had me mildly concerned for the wellbeing of my peers.

A perfectly reasonable language. None of this Gen Z rubbish.

Something something better times. Shakes stick at sky.

For some reason, this just sparked an ancient memory of the Geek Code, which was a sort of signature block you could append to your emails and online bios to show off how much of a geek you were in the geekiest fashion possible.

Goddamn I'm old.

Big "you damn kids and your phones" vibes from this

[-] throwback3090@lemmy.nz 6 points 1 day ago

Every generation is peddled two insane concepts:

When they are young, they are told that they have a weird bizarre vernacular which sounds stupid to everyone else.

Then when they are old, they are told young people have a weird bizarre vernacular which sounds stupid to everyone else.

Then you die.

Yes, and? Get off my lawn!

That's way better than my emoji based programming language.

Aliasing no_cap and cap to true and false.....

I might have to steal that.....

I fucking love it. Gen Z slang is so lighthearted and fun.

[-] AeonFelis@lemmy.world 19 points 1 day ago

Ah, yes. A private method for working on a public field.

As if default keywords are the biggest deal-breaker.

[-] Quacksalber@sh.itjust.works 26 points 2 days ago

I'd take that yeet instead of return...

[-] nialv7@lemmy.world 20 points 2 days ago
[-] wise_pancake@lemmy.ca 14 points 1 day ago

This is a better argument to adopt Rust than memory safety or even sane package management.

[-] ulterno@programming.dev 9 points 1 day ago

This was by far the best way to explain current slang.

Just needs a rap about the fun in functions performed by 60-year-old seniors

I've seen forms of this joke quite a lot in the last few years, and it never fails to make me laugh.

Well. I think I'm officially out of touch with the newest generations slang terms. I only understood about half of that.

[-] clay_pidgin@sh.itjust.works 29 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

I have many gray hairs, but here's what I know.

  • Highkey and lowkey - obvious and subtle.

  • fax is "facts" - true. Often in the sense of agreement.

  • Fuck around and find out - do something risky and reap the consequences

  • It's giving - how it makes you feel, or what it reminds you of.

  • Cap and no cap - lying and telling the truth.

  • Big yikes - bad, especially cringey.

  • Tea - (n) gossip. (v) "spill the tea"

  • Shoutout - give credit to someone. I don't think this one makes much sense here.

  • Yap - talk, especially too much or unnecessarily.

  • Yeet - throw, often without careful aim. (Unlike "Kobe", which is a throw with aim)

[-] dependencyinjection@discuss.tchncs.de 26 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

You missed

  • Rizz = charisma
  • vibe check = Vibe is kinda like someone’s aura or energy. So to check their vibe is to call them out on it.

Also got many grey hairs but I like to know what people mean and language evolves. Our generation did it too you get me blud.

[-] clay_pidgin@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 day ago

Thanks for the catch, I thought I got all of them. Stay skibidi and not Ohio, my friend.
